Shimano '22 Expride

Shimano '22 Expride spinning and baitcasting rods

The Shimano '22 Expride is a high-quality rod series for discerning predator anglers seeking maximum sensitivity, precise lure control, and low weight. Developed with state-of-the-art Shimano technologies and premium components, the Expride '22 delivers impressive performance for a wide range of freshwater fishing applications.

The Expride blank is based on a high-modulus full carbon construction combined with Hi-Power X. This technology significantly reduces blank twisting during casting and fighting fish. The result is more precise casts, direct power transmission, and noticeably improved feedback from the lure and the bottom.

Equipped with high-quality Fuji reel seats and lightweight, robust Fuji guides , the Expride '22 also impresses in terms of features. The ergonomically shaped handle ensures high comfort and maximum control – even during long fishing days or demanding techniques.

Thanks to the wide variety of models, the Shimano '22 Expride covers a broad spectrum of techniques – from ultralight finesse fishing to powerful fishing for pike or zander with larger lures.
